Selected Sermons of Jonathan Edwards
Jonathan Edwards
Book Overview:
Jonathan Edwards was a colonial American Congregational preacher, theologian, and missionary to Native Americans. Edwards “is widely acknowledged to be America’s most important and original philosophical theologian.” His work is very broad in scope, but he is often associated with his defense of Calvinist theology, the metaphysics of theological determinism, and the Puritan heritage. His famous sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” emphasized the just wrath of God against sin and contrasted it with the provision of God for salvation; the intensity of his preaching sometimes resulted in members of the audience fainting, swooning, and other more obtrusive reactions. The swooning and other behaviors in his audience caught him up in a controversy over “bodily effects” of the Holy Spirit’s presence

And each person of the Trinity is equally glorified in this work: there is an absolute dependence of the creature on every one for all: all is of the Father, all through the Son, and all in the Holy Ghost. Thus God appears in the work of redemption as all in all. It is fit that he that is, and there is none else, should be the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the all, and the onl. . . Read More

The rating is purely based on this version of the text. The digital rendition had line breaks and page breaks that were unnatural to read. The Sermons themselves, this was the second time I have read these works and enjoyed them again. Highlights include Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and The
Three sermons were really good; two seemed to state the obvious; and one was very heavy-handed and downright oppressive. I have more of a mixed appreciation for him now- we are less likely to revere people the more we get to know them!
I liked some of the sermons more than others… but overall it was a good experience reading the works of someone whose teachings have endured so long and have influenced many other teachers. My favorite of the sermons was “God Glorified in Man’s Dependence.”
If you love great sermons, this must be added to your reading list. As I read "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," I could tell why people responded to this sermon with such great passion. You can still feel the Holy Spirit working as you read this sermon and many more. "Ruth's Resolution," was a
I can appreciate this book for what it is, though the selected sermons are definitely more for seekers than for Christians who are looking for sermons with a lot of practical relevance for their own lives. Edwards is a little too fear focused in his evangelism for my taste, but I recognize that he l
Tough but rewarding read
I knew "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and his Resolutions, but nothing else about Edwards. If you read this, make sure you read the explanatory notes that go along with each sermon. They give you really valuable context for each.
Fabulous book!
I am sure the modern evangelical church would have nothing to do with Jonathan Edwards. He was too plain spoken and serious for most congregations. There were no jokes and far too much doctrine. Also his sermons were much too long for the modern Christian. I consider him to be a very g
